The leaves on the tree are turnin' inside out From the Great White North there's a big black cloud Run for shelter if you can There's a storm in the heartland We made it through the flood of '93 But this is gonna be the death of me I can't hide the tears of a desperate man There's a storm in the heartland She's leavin' me just like a restless wind And I can see my world is comin' to an end Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland The love she gave was like a breath of spring Sweet and pure as a mountain stream I couldn't see the danger close at hand There's a storm in the heartland She's leavin' me just like a restless wind And I can see my world is comin' to an end Like the sounds of thunder empty words ring out again There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland There's a storm in the heartland
